This past Sunday we visited the orpanage again. We scheduled it at a time so Brian could come as well. The children do not interact much with men so I was interested to see how they would respond. The older children took to Brian quickly and began to call him "uncle". Brian brought a tennis ball with him and he encouraged the children to play a game. My heart always goes out towards the littlest of the orphans so I spent most of the time cuddling, holding, and playing ring around the rosie. BJ took a little bit of time to get comfortable with the children, but by the end, he was singing and dancing with them :)
Gathered around for some singing in Bangla.
It took several times through the songs until the children could sing them too!
When I visited back in March, this little sweetheart had just been dropped off at the orphanage. Look how big she has gotten!
This little buddy is the newest addition.
The children participated in action songs.
Enjoying tiffin (snack time).
More tiffin!
The little boy sitting on the steps was often alone. We learned that from birth he has suffered from a digestive illness. Although he is improving with age he still struggles daily.
Brian playing a game with the children.
This little girl was so sweet. She and BJ had a lot of fun twirling, singing, and giggling. (BJ really is smiling in this picture...honest.)
Saying goodbye to the children is always so hard.
